The Gimer Virus Plague was a catastrophic plague caused by a mysterious virus which almost wiped out the entire gimer crop of Vithiraos in 782 BBY. As a result, thousands of L'g'c's starved to death and Zudu, Zorith, Ambrose Ius, and Yoda lost a fortune they had invested in gimer. While on a mission on Hellenes Gracca, Zudu managed to obtain a sample of Gorax spittle. This proved essential in creating a cure that ended the Plague.
